• The changing epidemiology of resistance. (2009, background): “These strains are genetically unrelated to hospital-acquired strains of MRSA and in some centres have emerged as the predominant cause of SSTIs, with the USA300 clone being the most frequently isolated in North America.(43) CA-MRSA has diverse lineages due to new acquisitions of SCCmec IV.”
• Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Epidemiology and Clinical Consequences of an Emerging Epidemic (2010, background): “aureus genetic backgrounds were responsible for initiating the CA-MRSA epidemic, but by the first years of the 21st century (309, 888), one well-characterized genetic background, USA300, emerged as the most prevalent strain in the contiguous 48 states in the United States (403, 475, 543, 702, 893, 8”
